Cashew Milk
Cashew milk is a creamy and delicious non-dairy milk alternative made from cashew nuts. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor and smooth, velvety texture make it a versatile ingredient. Cashew milk is typically off-white in color and has a thinner consistency than cashew cream but richer than some other plant-based milks. It's a popular choice for those seeking lactose-free, dairy-free, and vegan options, offering a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional cow's milk.
Common Uses
- Use cashew milk as a dairy-free creamer in coffee and tea, adding a subtle sweetness and creamy texture without the lactose or animal products.
- Cashew milk is an excellent base for smoothies and shakes, providing a rich and smooth texture while blending seamlessly with fruits, vegetables, and protein powders.
- Replace cow's milk with cashew milk in baking recipes such as cakes, muffins, and pancakes, creating moist and tender results with a delicate nutty flavor.
- Cashew milk works perfectly in savory dishes like creamy soups, sauces, and mashed potatoes as a vegan and lactose-free alternative to traditional dairy, adding a subtle richness.
- Enjoy cashew milk straight from the glass as a refreshing and hydrating beverage, offering a light and naturally sweet taste that's perfect on its own.
- Cashew milk can be used to make vegan ice cream offering a rich and creamy texture

Storage Tips
Unopened cashew milk can be stored at room temperature until the expiration date printed on the packaging. Once opened, it must be refrigerated and consumed within 7-10 days. Be sure to seal it tightly after each use. If the cashew milk develops an off odor, flavor, or appearance, discard it immediately. Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture and lead to separation upon thawing.
